Yant pleaded guilty
to first-degree robbery. He will be sentenced to a term of 15 years in prison, which will run consecutively to his current sentence for a different robbery he pleaded guilty to in 2015.

According to police, at approximately 9:40 p.m. on June 30, 2015, Shameik Floyd was found dead in the street near 200 Mansion Street with a gunshot wound to his head. He would die from those wounds later that day.

Police said that the Detective Bureau launched an investigation into the shooting with an assist from the Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office and the New York State Department of Corrections Office of Special Investigations Criminal Intelligence Division, which led them to Cummings and Yant after nearly two years.
